2014

Space antics with realistic physics. Quality dips midway through, but first few books are great. I haven’t watched the show yet.

• ★★★★ Cibola Burn
• ★★★ Nemesis Games
• ★★★ The Vital Abyss
• ★★★ Babylon's Ashes

• ★★★ Tiamat's Wrath
• ★★★ Auberon
• ★★★★ Leviathan Falls

Quick series with some interesting ideas (human hive minds, vampires in space).

• ★★★ Blindsight
• ★★ The Colonel
• ★★ Echopraxia

Plot-driven and entertaining, I enjoyed them at the time. There are additional books out now, but haven’t felt the need to continue.

• ★★★ Red Rising
• ★★★ Golden Son
• ★★★ Morning Star

Could have been edited down a bit, but overall was a fun series to read

• ★★★ The Black Prism
• ★★★★ The Blinding Knife
• ★★★★ The Broken Eye
• ★★★★ The Blood Mirror
• ★★★ The Burning White

Series starts strong, though the most recent books were just OK. Waiting on the final five books to be written.

• ★★★★ The Way of Kings
• ★★★★★ Words of Radiance
• ★★★★ Oathbringer
• ★★★★ Edgedancer
• ★★★ Dawnshard
• ★★★★ Rhythm of War
• ★★★ The Sunlit Man
• ★★★ Wind and Truth
